{"product_id":"2022-acta-non-verba-chardonnay","title":"Acta Non Verba Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis limited release Chardonnay is selected from the Anvers estate vineyard situated in the premium Adelaide Hills wine region. Hand picking, gentle whole bunch pressing and a natural fermentation in new and old French oak barrels has produced a wine of great complexity. Bright fruit aromas reminiscent of white nectarines are overlaid with hints of nougat and cashew, which lead to a creamy, finely textured palate with a long and persistent finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrapes for this wine are all from Anvers Razorback Road vineyard in the Southern Adelaide Hills, hand picked in the cool of the morning.  The grapes are not crushed but instead loaded as whole bunches directly into an air bag press. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe juice is run to French oak barrels and the hard pressings are not included.  The juice is not inoculated with yeast, and so a natural or “wild’ fermentation is carried out in barrel. Only very fine grain French oak barrels are used of low-medium toast - 25% new oak barrels, the remainder 1-3 year old French oak.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing fermentation the wine is left of lees in barrel and the lees stirred (batonnage) fortnightly.  Over the winter period the wine slowly undergoes a natural malo-lactic fermentation. This adds mouth feel and complexity to the wine. After 9 months a selection is made of the best barrels for the Acta Non Verba Chardonnay and the wine is racked out of barrel and bottled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnly 4,800 bottles of this Tomorrowland exclusive wine were produced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e94+ pts - Campbell Mattinson\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e93 pts - Halliday Wine Companion - Reviewed by Mike Bennie\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anvers Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48842318610683,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/4183\/1163\/files\/winesq3_6299a69d-1b48-476a-b435-be666c2f6fc4.jpg?v=1741177196","url":"https:\/\/www.anvers.com.au\/products\/2022-acta-non-verba-chardonnay","provider":"Anvers Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
